I think that the idea of private property as an inalienable right is rooted in the enlightenment and on the same level as human rights.
It is to protect individuals against spoliation by the state or powerful, and even to assert an even more basic right to own property at all. It obviously does not mean that property cannot be taken away from its owner but that this must follow a fair and lawful process.
